Antioxidants can help us live longer.

Smoking increases risk of Alzheimer’s disease
Antioxidants can help us live longer. Everyone can benefit from antioxidants, but if you are a smoker, it may be even more important to take antioxidants. It was recently reported that older adults who smoke have an increased risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. Of course, quitting smoking would be the best thing to do.

Free radicals harm the brain
Clinical studies on Alzheimer’s disease show a connection between free radicals and Alzheimer’s disease. Free radicals, which are by-products of normal bodily processes, can be harmful in excess quantities. Free radicals can be triggered by pollution and smoking.

Smoking triggers excess free-radical production.
Free radicals attack cells. The attacked cells attack more cells causing a chain reaction of damage to the body. This happens because free radicals are missing an electron and steal electrons from other atoms, then those atoms are missing electrons. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals by lending an electron or by otherwise stabilizing the free radicals so the free radical does not harm the body.

Modern diets lack antioxidants
Diets lacking sufficient fruits and vegetables may lack antioxidants. Supplementing the diet with antioxidants can benefit health and increase longevity. Studies show that using multiple antioxidants works better than using just one antioxidant. Studies show that antioxidants can help maintain a healthy brain.

Antioxidants help maintain a healthy brain
One of our best antioxidant products is Res-Q CellPower. Another great antioxidant product that helps protect the brain from free radicals is Res-Q Resveratrol. Research shows that using the ingredients in both products together would produce maximum benefits for the health of the brain. Res-Q Multi, our heart healthy multivitamin, contains vitamins, minerals, heart-healthy ingredients, and a variety of antioxidants also.

Wake up feeling refreshed with Res-Q Sleep.

Res-Q Sleep contains a combination of melatonin and all-natural herbs to help with occasional sleeplessness. The combination of melatonin and other natural herbs creates a synergistic effect, which means a better night’s sleep. Res-Q Sleep also helps aid the normal process of relaxing and unwinding in order to fall asleep faster. Since Res-Q Sleep is an all-natural product, it is non-habit forming and does not make you groggy in the morning. Wake up feeling refreshed and alert.

Double-blind placebo controlled study.

According to a study published in The Journal of Sleep Research, melatonin users felt more refreshed in the morning, and fell asleep faster than non-melatonin users. The relevance of using melatonin in this study is that melatonin is the key chemical responsible for our sleep cycle.

The study was conducted on patients with “delayed sleep phase syndrome.” Delayed sleep phase syndrome is a sleep disturbance of the circadian rhythm. Patients with delayed sleep phase syndrome can’t seem to fall asleep quickly, and when they do fall asleep, it’s not until the middle of the night or early morning, regardless of what time they get up. Our body has a natural built in clock, a night-day cycle, telling us when to sleep and when to rise. Many “night owls” could be suffering from faulty circadian rhythm. Does it seem impossible for you to get up in the morning? Melatonin, known for its ability to promote the night/day cycle, helps re-align the body’s internal clock, the body’s wake/sleep cycle. Could melatonin be the answer? It might be something your body is not producing in sufficient amounts. Healthy, young adults usually secrete about 5 to 25 micrograms of melatonin each night. However, that amount declines with age.

Supplementing with melatonin is safe and natural. Address your sleep concerns with your physician, especially if you’re looking for safe, all-natural, beneficial methods that do not have adverse effects.

Is the triglyceride form of omega-3 better than ethyl ester?

No. The truth is that ethyl esters perform just as well in the body as triglycerides do. With all the information on the internet, it is still difficult to differentiate between “good science” and “good marketing.” Some information borders on downright nonsense or pure fabrication, while other information has some truth to it. However, studies speak for themselves. Medical journals and reports written by and for the medical community contain the most current and reliable information. The best thing to do is read for yourself from a non-biased publication.

In a twelve week randomized crossover study, an ethyl ester concentrate of EPA and DHA was compared with a triglyceride-based fish oil. Both preparations reduced triglycerides by 50%. The study used doses of 2- 4 grams. Therefore, it is the amount of omega-3 and not the form of oil that is necessary for results. It is the level of omega-3 essential fatty acids consumed daily that is imperative to attaining results, and NOT whether the supplement is in a triglyceride form or an ethyl ester form.

Omega-3s as ethyl esters are also just as equally absorbed as triglycerides. There is a difference in the rate of absorption, not the absorption ability. Both are equally able to be absorbed. In other words, one is not absorbed better than the other. There is not any difference in efficacy, either.

We offer a pure, potent omega-3 supplement called Res-Q 1250, intended to encourage the reduction of triglycerides. Res-Q 1250 provides the proper balance of omega-3 fatty acids for cardiovascular health benefits. Res-Q 1250 is available in both an ethyl ester and a triglyceride form. Res-Q 1250 is specifically formulated to deliver enough EPA and DHA for cardiovascular health benefits.
